Family Promise of Hamilton County hires first executive director

Nancy Ramsey has been hired as the first Executive Director for Family Promise of Hamilton County. She begins her duties today.

Ramsey

Nancy is a life-long Hamilton County resident with extensive experience in coaching individuals and families to achieve their goals for financial independence and home security. She has honed these skills in her work with WorkOne, JobWorks and Destination: College, a nonprofit she began.

She is an active volunteer, currently serving as a board member of the Sheridan Youth Assistance Program and has volunteered locally with Girl Scouts, 4-H, Noblesville Schools PTO and Tri Kappa. She is finishing her master’s degree in Management and Leadership from Western Governors University and has a BS in Organizational Leadership from Anderson University. She is a 2014 graduate of the Hamilton County Leadership Academy.

“We are so excited to have Nancy help us open our doors to serve homeless children and their families by this spring,” said Board of Trustees President Roger Crim. “In 2018, Hamilton County had 1,431 homeless households with 1,617 children, and no established program to assist them. We have 13 interfaith congregations ready to partner with us, and will soon have our day center ready, where families receive supportive services to move to permanent housing. Nancy’s passion to help others and her ability to collaborate with others in the county will be indispensable to making a difference for our homeless families.”
